Summer's officially done.
Eli started San Rafael High School, and the girls, Davidson Middle today.
They all seem ready.  I miss them a little.  It's felt okay being busier, getting everyone prepared this week.  But I've been reminiscing about the past months--
We had adventures these last few months.
Our Swedish family came to town for Felicia's Redwood graduation.
Eli went to camp, and me too, for a couple weeks, as a camp nurse.
We spent a month in Auburn.  Our goat girl Una was born.  We went often to the river to cool off.
We revamped our garden there and hauled lots of manure.
I started a beginning rancher course, and organic farming course, a permaculture design course.
We took a gorgeous cruise down the coast of Alaska with family and friends.
Thank you Mama and Papa for that.
We had some health scares in our family.  I think everything will be okay though.
I haven't worked much at Kaiser.  That will have to change.
The girls and I made a deal that if things get to feeling stressful, we will walk our loop together.
It's a good start.
